“No need to go,” Song Jingyun replied with a smile, looking completely at ease.
The confident little Husband!
Jiang Mixia frowned slightly, “But even if you’re confident that your name will be on the list, it’s still better to go and see what your ranking is, right?”
Making the list in the spring examinations meant becoming a gongsheng, and one had to prepare for the palace examination two weeks later.
The palace examination was the final test that determined the final rankings.
Knowing one’s ranking this time would give one a better idea of how to prepare for the upcoming palace examination.
“My dear, there’s really no need,” Song Jingyun said with a smile, “Someone will tell us soon enough.”
Someone would tell them Song Jingyun’s ranking?
That’s right, Jiang Junli, who founded Splendorous Garden, considered everything very carefully for the scholars, and might have specially sent someone to check the list and record the rankings of all the scholars residing in Splendorous Garden, to inform them later…
As Jiang Mixia pondered, several scholars who had also taken part in this year’s spring examinations passed by her and Song Jingyun.
They discussed as they walked, “This year’s top scorer in the spring examinations is someone named Song Jingyun. I wonder if he’s a scholar from Splendorous Garden.”
“Splendorous Garden has produced the top scorer several times in a row, so I guess this year is no exception. But nothing is certain, and it might be difficult to verify.”
“What’s so hard about that? Jiang Junli, who founded Splendorous Garden, loves to act as a money-giving boy. If Jiang Junli has someone move copper coins to the street to distribute later, then it must be true.”
“That makes sense…”
Song Jingyun watched the people walk away before raising his eyebrows, “See, my dear, I told you someone would tell us.”
Jiang Mixia was speechless.
Indeed, someone had told them Song Jingyun’s ranking.
And judging by the situation, not only was someone telling them, but the whole street and alleys were probably already buzzing with the news.
Song Jingyun not only made the list but was also the top scorer in this year’s spring examinations!
Jiang Mixia was suddenly excited and stood on her tiptoes to rub Song Jingyun’s head, “You know, my husband is really amazing.”
Top scorer in the examinations!
Song Jingyun first chuckled, then his eyes lit up, and he looked at Jiang Mixia with a serious face, “My dear… which aspect are you referring to?”
Jiang Mixia was shocked.
What kind of twisted logic was this, turning into a speeding car out of nowhere?
…
The news of Song Jingyun’s top scorer in the examinations spread throughout Splendorous Garden by the afternoon, and the entire garden was abuzz with excitement.
The scholars residing in Splendorous Garden flocked to Courtyard No. 8 to congratulate Song Jingyun.
Both Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia greeted and entertained the guests with smiles, quite busy.
The scholars who came to congratulate them saw that Song Jingyun was still able to be amiable and had no airs about him, and his wife, Jiang Mixia, was graceful and composed, handling the comings and goings with ease. The harmony between the couple was enviable, and they were praised once again.
All the scholars in Splendorous Garden had made the list, and although the courtyards in various parts of the garden were spacious enough for personal living, they were inevitably cramped for entertaining guests. So, they agreed to meet at the small dining hall in Splendorous Garden shortly to have a few drinks and celebrate together.
Once the plan was settled, everyone went back to their respective courtyards to rest for a while.
Everyone’s faces were lit up with smiles because they had all made the list, except for one named Sun Huaiqing, who raised his eyebrows.
